AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The composition significantly reduces pruritus symptoms across different causes, demonstrating superior therapeutic effects while ensuring safety and avoiding side effects, as evidenced by experiments with genistein and daidzein at specific concentrations.

Problems solved by technology

Although it is a symptom commonly found in skin diseases and systemic diseases, its characteristics are not known sufficiently.
However, not all types of pruritus are associated with the mediators and pruritus caused by mechanical or electrical stimulation and dry skin may occur without regard to the mediators.
But, the therapeutic effect is temporary or limited depending on the type of pruritus.
Use of adrenocortical hormones or corticosteroids is limited to acute or severe cases due to side effects and long-term use is undesirable.

Embodiment Construction

[0085]Six-week-old, specific-pathogen-free male BALB / c mice were purchased from Orient Bio Korea Inc. (Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) and housed in a laminar flow cabinet. They were provided with standard solid chows ad libitum. At the onset of the test, the mice were 7-8 weeks old. All animal care and use were performed in accordance with the protocol of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Chonbuk National University Medical School.

Preparation of Reagents

[0086]Isoflavone-based compounds genistein, daidzein, glycitein and equol were purchased from Sigma. They were dissolved in DMSO and diluted with distilled water. Care was taken such that the content of DMSO did not exceed 0.1%. Histamine, chloroquine and DNCB were also purchased from Sigma.

Induction of Pruritus

[0087]1. Histamine- and Chloroquine-Induced Pruritus

[0088]Pruritus was induced by subcutaneously injecting histamine and chloroquine to the mice. Specifically, 0.1 mL of 2 mg / mL histamine and 4 mg / mL chlo...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 16 / 493,485, filed Sep. 12, 2019, which is a U.S. National Stage Entry of International Application No. PCT / KR2017 / 014565, filed Dec. 12, 2017, which claims priority to South Korean Application No. KR10-2017-0031831, filed Mar. 14, 2017, the entireties of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing or treating pruritus, which contains a natural ingredient.Background Art[0003]Pruritus (itch) is defined as an unpleasant sensation that causes the desire to scratch the skin (Andersen H H et al., Human surrogate models of histaminergic and non-histaminergic itch, Acta Dermato-Venereologica. 95 (7): 7717. (2015)). Although it is a symptom commonly found in skin diseases and systemic diseases, its characteristics are not known sufficiently.[0004]It is estimated that approximately 280 million people, 4%...
